Twitter under fire for reinstating account that posted child sex abuse
  • It's been common parlance at least since Apple wanted to implement CSAM scanning of all iCloud saved images through a hashing technique. The backlash was so strong Apple now opposes CSAM scanning. This was two years ago-ish.

  • Abortion Uber?
  • I did find a service but the part about being male doesn't help much. I left a message and never heard back. :( I get it, I'm just disappointed my fellow men have such a bad reputation.

  • Where do you realistically expect the world to be in terms of meeting the 2050 climate goals?
  • The fix was in on our climate by the 90's, the Co2 levels are above 450 ppm. This doesn't have an equivalent in many millions of years. The effects of heat building is cumulative, the earth still has plenty more room to store heat energy, and we've already put more than enough Co2 in the atmosphere to warm well past 2C. We've got years left, not decades. Wait till food distribution systems break down, that's when it'll hit everyone that this is already a done deal. Things will begin to break down rapidly in the next few years.

  • Fellow Gen Xer provides recognition for our generation, at last.

    In a radical rebranding, Twitter owner Elon Musk has replaced Twitter’s iconic bird logo with X.

    Everyone's favorite Gen X edgelord teenager finally gave our generation the visibility it deserves. We now have our very own branded shitty alt-right social media space.

    Florida's new Black history curriculum says "slaves developed skills" that could be used for "personal benefit"
  • What's absurd is that the meaning of the paragraph is nothing to you, but the number of words. In a book full of words. That's why you're not taken seriously. What is meaning anyhow? Aren't all books just collections of words, and there's lots of books so lots of words? Do collections of words have impact, meaning, or can I just say write/stuff and it doesn't mean anything? You are a fucking clown. You sure get your knickers in a twist when a single word comes up you don't like. Hell, a fucking acronym and you obsequious boot lickers lose your shit.

    First Florida takes away their own history by censuring or banning history books and classes both primary and continuing, turns around with a new history book that has none of that other shit, but tiny widdle paragragh about how slavery was good for you. That's why we think you're fascist mouth-breathers.

  • Abortion Uber?

    I'm looking for a group that helps assist women from other states coming to LA seeking abortion services that don't want to use their car for identification purposes. Several states are asking for license plate information from various police agencies in California and it appears they are providing it. Is anyone putting together a matchmaking service for people that wish to help ferry women from and to the airport or to an abortion provider? Disclosure, I am male but I believe in every woman's right to reproductive services.

    We are now "in charge".

    news.yahoo.com Gen X Is in Charge. Don’t Make a Big Deal About It.

    The average age of incoming CEOs is around 54. While American government remains squarely in the hands of baby boomers — and while its leadership, at least in certain branches, becomes noticeably older — corporate boardrooms are undergoing a transition. It’s Gen X’s moment, that generation most know...

    77 percent of Gen Xers want to go back to the pre-internet days

    Uhhh, sure about that figure? I mean, social media certainly doesn't rank high but I don't think a plausible majority would do without the internet entirely, and few would roll back every benefit they receive from it.

    The MLB Ballpark app is a privacy nightmare

    www.mlb.com MLB Privacy Policy | MLB.com

    The Privacy Policy of the official site of Major League Baseball

    The Ballpark app requires a ton of personal information, way more than I expected. To wit: Full name, Email address, Password, Street address, Telephone number(s), Birth date, Payment data, IP addresses, Location data, Contacts (as stored in your wireless device), Demographic data, Device data, Usage data, Voice recordings, Audiovisual recordings, Information about your interests and preferences, Data specifically requested in relation to an activity or an event (e.g., emergency contact information), Data provided by Other Companies if you choose to connect your use of our services through the Other Company’s service, Personal information of a child if and only if a parent or guardian provides the child’s personal information; and

    • Sensitive personal information*.

    This is all required in order to go to a game, all tickets are distributed through the app. There are workarounds, I said I don't have a smartphone, and they allowed it using an mlb.com account. It's tedious. Perhaps this is an indication of what our future looks like, it becomes increasingly difficult to navigate modern life without giving up all your data to prying apps, corporations and data brokers. This is just to go to a game, there's no opportunity to print out tickets, show a generated QR code, bar code, nothing. You must have the app to attend a game.

    Ask a beekeeper

    Hello, I am a 10 year beekeeper and bee remover. I've taught hobbyists and removers the ins and outs of beekeeping for awhile now, and I've gotten to the point that I feel there's very little that bees have left to teach me. I deal with a more southern climate, not much overwintering, and my bees are partly Africanized, like the local population. I can answer questions about hobbyist beekeeping as well as strategies for removal and relocation. Have a problem you can't quite figure out? Bees being a bit mysterious to you? Having trouble with a particular hive? Want to know more about what gear or woodenware you're working with? Hit me up here!
